The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,600 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.
My wife Val made this the other night and it was sitting on top of the stove cooling so naturally, I tried some. Wow, I was knocked out by how flavorful and colorful this was and asked her to write down the recipe so we could share this with you. This recipe is heart healthy, diabetic friendly, gluten-free vegan and absolutely YUMMY!

I have lived in Oregon since 1991 and I love the abundant produce and seafood here. Oregon is a major producer in the U.S. of hazelnuts (filberts). Hazelnuts have a significant place among the types of dried nuts in terms of nutrition and health because of the special composition of fats (primarily oleic acid), protein, carbohydrates, vitamins (vitamin E), minerals, dietary fibres, phytosterol (beta-cytosterol) and antioxidant phenolics such as flavan-3-ols. A healthful nut indeed! I’ve used local blackberry honey in my recipe but you can use any flavor you like. This recipe is low in fat, heart healthy, diabetic friendly, high in fiber, vegan, gluten-free and delicious.

You may be asking yourself if you are a frequent visitor to this site “what is healthy about fudge” the answer; absolutely nothing. But life is all about balance. If you have adopted a healthier lifestyle (hopefully with some of my recipes and exercise) an occasional indulgence is good for the soul and this recipe is too good not to share. I also am assuming you will make a batch for your family and friends and not eat the whole pan yourself! This recipe came to me from a friend of a disgruntled worker at a famous candy company who was let go after 16 years of service without a pension. She had only this one recipe but she promptly shared it with all her friends. A sad story indeed but her loss is our gain.
